    Well I said I would not waste half the day cleaning today. I lied. 2 hours later behind the sofa is tidy and I've got the newspaper and wobble receipt pile into the recycle basket so the dining table, sofa and desk mess has gone - still have to vaccum top to bottom though ... Never ending, even had to cancel a trip to Birmingham

    Anyway I cut out the Morrisons advert from the Metro to see if the 3 offer items are also sold by Sadaa.

    (Not looked at the fab con as I gave a lifetime supply :)LOL

    The Surf is nearly a good price - £2.65 for 23 washes so almost the magic 10p a load. On mys though it says Sada sell a 25 wash version so it does not match Morrisons - not sure if I believe this.

    The Persil 500ml wash liquid is in new packaging - don't know if this confuses the issue. The picture is of lemon burst. I checked mys and Asda have 2 versions lemon burst and apple fizz, both 500ml both 70p against Morribobs 50p - if and when the APG picks these up 2 of these would be good fillers for a bickie shop.

    Not quite as good as 39p Persil Wuls from days of yore but good enough.

    So in theory - not got my lists next to me but off the top of my head that's 4 bickies, Linda mcarthy red onion sausages, a Colgate toothpaste, 2 Persil Wuls - nearly the full set - again I composed this list last night and it's all change day again so I am waiting for things to settle before I look at it again ....

    Thanks. Do you add any other veg/meatballs etc?

    I'm not sure, I've never made a good one. I tried just adding the usual (garlic, onion, celery) with some paprika and it definitely seemed like something was missing (possibly meat)

    I tried some that dh's cousin had made at a christmas party and I kept asking for the recipe, but with no success (I think she thought I was being polite), it was lush

    Sorry I can't help :)

    But you have. :j:j I now have another way of keeping some beetroot. Perhaps DH's cousin didn't give you the recipe because she put a bit of this and a bit of that in it and didn't like to admit that it was 'ad hoc'.
